Concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) systems, which use optical elements to focus light onto small-area solar cells, have the potential to minimize the costs, while improving efficiency, of photovoltaic ...

The breakthrough scientists have been waiting for to make solar power cheaper, more efficient–and therefore a more effective replacement for traditional energy sources–has been made by a group of MIT ...
